🎶 Our Village Residents Join the Magic! 🎶
Nine residents from our village ukulele group joined over 100 others at Magical Mondays in Mangawhai, singing and strumming the night away! With fantastic guest performances from The Bravehearts and Lee and the Shenettes, the energy was high and truly inspiring for all players. Isn't it amazing how a small instrument like the ukulele can bring so much joy? 🎸✨

On Friday, October 11, a mixed event supported by The Anchorage Village and hosted at Waipu Golf was a huge success. With 83 participants from The Far North and as far south as Auckland, the course, in good shape and with a clear view of Bream Bay, the stage was set for an incredible day.
After completing their 18 holes, our happy golfers were welcomed to the Clubhouse, where they enjoyed a delectable meal that the staff at the Ocean View Cafe had prepared. Relaxed and eager to see "who won what," Rhonda and Linda gave a brief statement and presented generous prizes to each category's winners.

For the past two years, the Anchorage Lifestyle Village has been hosting Pink Ribbon Breakfasts, and they carried on the custom this year.
Donations from nearby companies, including Hoppers, Midnight Musings, the Marsden 4 Square, and Marsden Cove Pharmacy helped to fund the event. Receiving donations from Pak n' Save Whangarei and Countdown Regent was a pleasure. The most successful fundraiser to date, raising $1480 for the deserving cause, was made possible by these donations, which also funded the breakfast and raffles.
The celebration was organized by the locals, who also provided the delicious breakfast that was enjoyed by everyone in various hues of pink.
The Anchorage honoured all mothers by surprising its residents with luscious cupcakes delivered right to their homes for Mother's Day. The ladies of the village thoroughly appreciated these exquisite cupcakes, which were baked by our local, Summer's Cakes, and presented in custom packaging.
